    Berm, Drop, Jump, Gap Jump, Rock Garden, Other

Mostly rolls pretty easy, with some berms, but the berms are that big, and there is really no jumps. Lots of whoops that if you really pedal hard I think you can double some up, or manual through several. This is a fun trail to pedal fast through, and the trees hang over one section with the rollers and it feels bit tunnel like.

This is rated as expert only because the very end has a rock garden. It is difficult to pedal as you hit it right after an uphill turn, making it difficult to pedal through with momentum.
